Reply to comment by BernardMadeOff in Has anyone lived in the DC area who can share how it feels different than living in VT? by taylor-reddit

I feel the opposite, it was a dumpster fire for so long. Now it’s gentrified too much. It’s almost impossible to afford to live there.

My brother who lives in DC was paying around the same in rent that I am in Burlington but his grocery bill is ridiculous.

There are plenty of sub 400k condos for sale in NW DC. I beg to differ about the gentrification. It is an out of control dumpster fire now. The DC reddit has had to actively moderate daily posts about crime because they think it's just a political hit job from conservatives - even though people include videos/pictures. News flash, it's real and a result of progressive policy. The city is a mess. A lot of people are actively avoiding the metro due to marked increase in crime and unreliable operation. Be safe.
